The project I'm currently working on has reached 65,114 words. I started it on April 1st, so I've been averaging about 1,050 words a day -- which is the most I've written in a long long long time. I'm getting to a point where I am considering introducing a bit of drama that leads to … Continue reading There’s a Problem…

I did it again…
I had a plan to blog something at least weekly. I truly did. I swear it. And then something happened. I started writing again. Since the end of March I have written approximately 58,219 words in a new story. It's a romantasy featuring dragon shifters, an arranged marriage, and is 'why chose?'. It's also quite … Continue reading I did it again…
Trying to Find a Routine
I had a feeling that my next update might be postponed due to the holidays. However, I thought it would be because I was too busy working - after all, the Holidays are shipping and deliver's peak time - not because our second car died. You would think that would give me plenty of time … Continue reading Trying to Find a Routine
It was nice while it lasted…
I've posted before about why I decided to start sharing my projects on serialized fiction sites like Sequel or Wattpad. Basically, I spent a lot of time in my youth writing fanfic, uploading the chapters one at a time as a finished them, so serialization made a lot of sense to me. It still does, … Continue reading It was nice while it lasted…
New Year… New Blog?
It's been awhile. Far too long really. Over two years if you want to get nitty gritty about it. I didn't mean for that to happen. I really didn’t. It just kinda did. One day we were moving out of our first apartment here in Washington to the next, far superior, one. Then Halloween happened, … Continue reading New Year… New Blog?
One Year…
A year ago today I released Revenants, the first part of The Undying Ones, out in to the world. Originally I had planned to release Revenants with a new cover and a couple of fun little extras. However, earlier this week Amazon announced that they were merging Createspace with KDP (the platform many authors use … Continue reading One Year…
Dog Days of Summer
I'm sorry for not posting the past couple of weeks. We're stuck in the middle of a heat wave, and while it's not nearly as hot as Southern California, it's just warm enough to be miserable. Add in the humidity, the fact that we're in a second story apartment, and that our apartment complex seems … Continue reading Dog Days of Summer
Stolen Away…
As per usual, things have been pretty busy in the Olson household. Boyo is currently out on summer break, but not for long! The extended school year program starts in a week and a half, and while it's not as long or as frequent as his normal preschool, it should help keep him busy. John … Continue reading Stolen Away…
A Dangerous Game…
I have found the magic pill that makes my lungs behave. It's called Zyrtec and it's a miracle. With one tiny pill, there is no more wheezing, no more coughing. And I finally have something resembling energy again. I still don't have time to write due to the crazy three year old running around, but, … Continue reading A Dangerous Game…
Bumps in the Road…
I'm sorry to go MIA so soon after resuming posting again. Some of it is because I'm still adjusting to the Boyo's new school schedule. He's home on Wednesday's now, so we spend a lot of time at the local parks trying to wear him out. Some of it is because shortly after we moved, … Continue reading Bumps in the Road…
